Opis:

Detail of Codex Argenteus, Mt 5:34 scan of the 1927 facsimile edition. The highlighted section is the abbreviation of the Gothic word guþs ("God's"), being the genetive of guþ ("God"). The word is, just like other sacred names in the manuscript, abbreviated to gþs which is indicated by a horizontal stroke above the abbreviated word. (see David Landau: The Source of the Gothic Month Name jiuleis and its Cognates, in: Namenkundliche Informationen 95/96, 2009, p. 239-248, esp. 240-242)
